CHAPTER VI. "Tyne Royal, Oct. 10, 12-. "Dearest Harry -Are you angry with me because I never answered your long, kind letters? Well, 1 could. not, that is my only excuse. And yon will, I know, forgive me. I am very lonely here, and -and a little frightened. Will you come to me? Tell Charlie, I will not keep you long -only a very little time -if he will just spare you to me for awhile. Give him and the children my love, and. ever believe me your own Katherine. "P. S. -Oh, Harry, do come! I want you." " Charlie," cried Mrs. Charteris, springing to her feet, " this letter is from our Katherine." "Nonsense!" exclaimed Cl3arlie, feel- ing scarcely less excited, and entire- ly forgetting, in his enthusiasm., the " sweet thing," in cookehafers he had received by the morning's post. "You don't say so!" " Ah, yes, indeed, thank goodness, poor dear child! Listen to what she says." And IVIrs. Charteris read the letter through once more for her husband's benefit." " You must go to her at once, Har- ry," Mr. Charteris deeded, when it was finished; "she is evidently dying with the Warrenne bad no right to eend her to such an isolated spot, as I conclude this Tyne Royal must be. no matter how much she may have wished it. Could you not manage to bring her batik here with you, Har- ry? Poor little soul, without a friend to speak to, to wonder she feels lone- ly I" "You fancy it is loneliness," said Harriet slowly: " I do not. Charlie did you never think?" In eloquent silence ensued. "No I never did," replied Charlie, quite slowly; a new light breaking in upon his hitlierto darkened mind, and totally forgetful of all those abstruse calculations he went through daily in tbe "ea nctura." " Well, I did,". went on his wife, triumphantly, "and now I am sure of " Bless mei" ejaculated Mr. Charter- is; " that never occurred to mel I hope you a.re right; you gerlerally are, indeed.

These signs and toltens of a "mind" were ail carefully meted and marked down in her busy brain by, Mrs. Char- teris, and, oddly enough, were secret- ly exulted over by that unfeeling young woman in tete peivaey of her own apartment, besides being fre- quently the subject of numerous let- ters diepatehed to Clherteris Park. So things went on until Harry's leave had almost expired, and she and Lady Warrenne were sitting one morning in the nursery, the baby slumbering peacefully in its little cot obese by. Katherine had fallen into one of her absent moods, and sat gee- ing with wistful eyes into the leaping fire, when she was startled by the touch of Harry's hand laid gently up- on her knee. "Katherine," said Mrs, Charter's, "why do you not say at epee what it is you want, my dear?" "Want!" Lady Warrenne repeated, a conscious flush overspreading her Lair facie. "Why, you are dreaming, Harriet What. can I possibly have to wish fot ? I want nothing." And she glanced with nervous fondness to- ward the cradle, "Yes, you do," returned Harry, bravely; "you want Mark; you want the best fellow that ever breathed; yen want the father of your boy." "Oh, no, no I" cried her poor little ladyship, excitedly, bursting into tears, and throwing her arms around Harriet's neck. "But, oh, yes, yes!" that determined diplomatist went on, 'valiantly, resolv- ed at all ',hazards to gain her point now that she had at last found oppor- tunity for breoching the forbidden topic "Why, Katherine, considet, my dear; what are you thinking of ? The little one is a month old to -day, and his own father has never even been told oe his existence. Now, is that right ?-is it kind? Putting ev- ery other consideration aside, how can you be so selfish as to keep that beau- tiful boy all to yourself, when you know Mark would be so proud of him, his dear little song" ' To be Continued. THE LIMIT OF SPEED BY STEAM. An Engineer ;Jays It Is Is the Han and Not in the Locomotive. "I read a piece the other day," said an old locomotive engineer, "in which a railroadj man said that 1501 miles an hour was one of the possibilities of future travel. I venture to disagree with him, and Pa tell you why -he doesn't take into aceount the human machine in the cat.f don't deubt bat they will build, engines that can stand a 150 mlie gait but they can't build the engineers.

The average man can't stand many spurts at even 65 miles an hem, let alone 150. He comes out of suchan ordteal: 'all broke up,' and jumps when he hears unexpected noises, like a hysterical waman. My own theory is that the effect is pro- duced mainly through the sight. You have to look straight ahead, but at the CHAPTER 'Vet, Nearly tbe whole of the stipulated month passed away pleasantly and.

THE STORY OF THE TROUBLE FROM THE COMMENCEMENT. short Review of the Curium* 'WhIellt Have Led Up to Ide PrOS011el tintartunate State Ot Airotirs. In the year 1836 an Aot of Parlia- ment carried the jurisdiction of the criminal, laws, of tee Cape Colony as far north as. the 25th degree of la Li, tads, and. in 1842 this Act was follow- ed by a proclamation of actual, sover- eignty over the whole °nee territor- ies up to the same limit. The Rome Government, however, took alarne, and cancelledethe proolamatiou, but at the same time asserted that all White mete residing within, the limits were to be regarded as British subjects. Had not the proclamation of 1842 been cancel- led, many difficulties by which we have since been confronted could nev- er-ttave arisen. British territory now extends far north of latitude 25, but instead of a complete seetion of the African oontinent being solely our own, we are obliged to recognize the rights of Germany and of Portugal',. as well as of the Boer Republics. In 1848 the territories now known as the Orange Free State and the Transvaal were annexed, in aeoord- ance with a fresh, political idea, and THE RESULT WAS A WAR, ' In which Sir Harry Smith inflicteda decisive defeat upon the Boer forces itt Boomplaatz, and the annexation was then. submitted to. In. 1852, how- ever, the political countenance devel- oped yet another change of ex- pression, and against the wish- es of its population, the Orange Free State was compelled to become an independent Republic, w.hilst a separate Convention, known as the Sand River Convention, was concluded with the Transvaal settlers, under tvhich they also, subject to a few trif- ling reservations, became an indepen- dent State. The annexation of the Orange Free State was not finally cancelled until - ' 5t'o thragre SIZ odoure an fi.

Further disasters followed, and the British Government, convinced that the Boers really desired independence, proceeded to grant it. -IL may safely be predicted that had self-government been granted simultaneously with the annexation, there would have been no The present crisis has arisen net so much in consequence of the franchise question as of the refusal of the Boers to recognize British suzerainty. There is an obvious difference between the existence of vassal StaLes having in- ternal independence within our sphere of influe,nce in South Africa, and, the assumption of sovereign power by those States in rivalry with the para.- =Mixt 'Rawer. It is in order to re-, move any doubt as to which( is to ,be the ruling race in South &fries. that British forces are now being despatch- ed. resumption of sovereignty could scarcely have been justified, except un- der very ,extraordinary circumstances or in accordence with the express .4e - sire of the inhabitants. As the year 1876 cb..ew to its dose the Transvaal was gradually drifting into, a condition of HOPELESS CHAOS. The Republio was at war with Seku- kun.i, but had -failed to achieve any success whatever. Alt fighting worthy of the name had been done by Volun- teers, or, as they were irreverently termed "Filibusters," -men belonging to almost any nation, but probably English and American for the most Tart. The Boer "Commandos" declined to take any part 1 storming rocky fast- nesses, and the Volunteers were not safficiently numerous to make good any advantages that they eemporar- ily gained. To mount a hill held by so contemptible a foe as the Mitocatees was comparatively easy, bat 'be remain on the hill without water or supplies, was impossible, and the inevitable re- tirement that followed in every case was always attended by heavy loss. Thus matters came to a standstill. The Treasuriy became insolvent, and the pay of the "Volunteers," as well as the subsistence of all the forces alike, could no longer be provided. The Boers dispersed to their homes, and the Volunteers would probably have done the same as. a body, but that so many of them had no homes to which they could betake themselves. At this juncture Sir Theophilus Shepstone was sent to Pretoria, escorted by a small detachment of the Natal Monnted Po- lice, and had instructions'to DEVISE SOME REMEDY for a. state of affairs w.hich constitut- ed a danger to all South Africa, ow- ing to the unrest created amongst the native populations by the successes of a petty chief, for such Sekukuni ae tually was in comparison with the many powerful native States. The annexation of the Transvaal was to be arranged as a preliminary step to British tuition. againsi Seku- knee provided that it majority 01 the inhabitents should be found to favour such a step. The column employed in order to give effect to this determination , was under the command of Colonel C. K. Pearson, the Commandant of Natal, and oonsisted of the 1st Battalion 13th Prime Al- bert's Light Infantry, aliput 750 strong, with two 7 -pounder Vila, and half -a -dozen sappers. All sorts of warlike rumours were bruited about, but the column nevertheless reached Pretoria without eneountering any- thing more. formidable than deputa- tions with addresses of weemme. Indeed, the only, intident oil any in- terest was the arrivat in the onnap near Laing's Nek of a GRAND OLD kiNGLISHWONIAN, aged over eighty years, who NS as driv- en some fifty miles in, order 1 het the might, "see the tinion Jack onee mor,e before she died.

From this time there was peace, nail. ateuegudriastassciter of Brunkers Spruit in - THE WA.R OF INDEPENDENCE. Further disasters followed, and the British Government, convinced that the Boers really desired independence, proceeded to grant it. -IL may safely be predicted that had self-government been granted simultaneously with the annexation, there would have been no The present crisis has arisen net so much in consequence of the franchise question as of the refusal of the Boers to recognize British suzerainty. There is an obvious difference between the existence of vassal StaLes having in- ternal independence within our sphere of influe,nce in South Africa, and, the assumption of sovereign power by those States in rivalry with the para.- =Mixt 'Rawer. It is in order to re-, move any doubt as to which( is to ,be the ruling race in South &fries. that British forces are now being despatch- ed. resumption of sovereignty could scarcely have been justified, except un- der very ,extraordinary circumstances or in accordence with the express .4e - sire of the inhabitants. As the year 1876 cb..ew to its dose the Transvaal was gradually drifting into, a condition of HOPELESS CHAOS. The Republio was at war with Seku- kun.i, but had -failed to achieve any success whatever. Alt fighting worthy of the name had been done by Volun- teers, or, as they were irreverently termed "Filibusters," -men belonging to almost any nation, but probably English and American for the most Tart. The Boer "Commandos" declined to take any part 1 storming rocky fast- nesses, and the Volunteers were not safficiently numerous to make good any advantages that they eemporar- ily gained. To mount a hill held by so contemptible a foe as the Mitocatees was comparatively easy, bat 'be remain on the hill without water or supplies, was impossible, and the inevitable re- tirement that followed in every case was always attended by heavy loss. Thus matters came to a standstill. The Treasuriy became insolvent, and the pay of the "Volunteers," as well as the subsistence of all the forces alike, could no longer be provided. The Boers dispersed to their homes, and the Volunteers would probably have done the same as. a body, but that so many of them had no homes to which they could betake themselves. At this juncture Sir Theophilus Shepstone was sent to Pretoria, escorted by a small detachment of the Natal Monnted Po- lice, and had instructions'to DEVISE SOME REMEDY for a. state of affairs w.hich constitut- ed a danger to all South Africa, ow- ing to the unrest created amongst the native populations by the successes of a petty chief, for such Sekukuni ae tually was in comparison with the many powerful native States. The annexation of the Transvaal was to be arranged as a preliminary step to British tuition. againsi Seku- knee provided that it majority 01 the inhabitents should be found to favour such a step. The column employed in order to give effect to this determination , was under the command of Colonel C. K. Pearson, the Commandant of Natal, and oonsisted of the 1st Battalion 13th Prime Al- bert's Light Infantry, aliput 750 strong, with two 7 -pounder Vila, and half -a -dozen sappers. All sorts of warlike rumours were bruited about, but the column nevertheless reached Pretoria without eneountering any- thing more. formidable than deputa- tions with addresses of weemme. Indeed, the only, intident oil any in- terest was the arrivat in the onnap near Laing's Nek of a GRAND OLD kiNGLISHWONIAN, aged over eighty years, who NS as driv- en some fifty miles in, order 1 het the might, "see the tinion Jack onee mor,e before she died.
